Menus and Toolbar
Topology Display Options
You can set the type of information displayed in the Topology view by changing the settings in the
Topology Options window. To display this window, select View > Topology Options. From this window,
you can select:
• Device icons (including IP Phones, CPEs, Neighbors, Access Points, and Candidates) that you want
displayed in or filtered from the Topology View window
• Interface IDs and Actual Speed values that you want displayed in the Link window
• Host Names, IP addresses, and MAC address labels that you want displayed in the Node window
Menus and Toolbar
The configuration and monitoring options for configuring switches and switch clusters are available
from menus and a toolbar.
Menu Bar
The menu bar, as shown in Figure 4-2, provides the complete list of options for managing a single switch
and switch cluster.
The menu-bar options on a Catalyst 2950 or Catalyst 2955 switch change depending on whether the
switch is running the standard software image (SI) or the enhanced software image (EI). The footnotes
in Table 3-11 list the options available if the switch is running the EI.
Note The Catalyst 2955 switch runs only the EI.
Options displayed from the menu bar can vary:
• The option for enabling a command switch is only available from a CMS session launched from a
command-capable switch.
• Cluster management tasks, such as upgrading the software of groups of switches, are available only
from a CMS session launched from a command switch.
• If you launch CMS from a specific switch, the menu bar displays the features supported only by that
switch.
